In their modern incarnation, the bathhouses are a reflection of South Korea's relatively newfound wealth, but also a way to satisfy nostalgia. … The first public bathhouse was built here in 1925, mostly to cater to Japanese colonialists, but the institution quickly became part of Korean social life. Most urban neighborhoods had a bathhouse, as did small towns. Inside, patrons sat in or around large, sex-segregated baths filled with extremely hot water, gossiping and scooping water on themselves with gourds. Scrubbing other bathers' backs, even strangers', was common practice. Many Korean adults share a childhood memory of being taken to public baths for no-nonsense, sometimes tears-inducing scrubs by their mothers. The bathhouses began adding amenities in recent decades as more people bathed at home. Those included steam rooms and professional body scrubbers, barbershops and hair salons, and communal sleeping rooms, where harried business people — often expected to work long hours and stay out late drinking with colleagues — could come during the day for a nap on a heated floor.
Alcohol consumption is limited to 500 ml per person, to prevent sauna accidents and overly rambunctious parties from disrupting the austere atmosphere. Bath time My favorite spot in the spa is the outdoor rock pool in the women-only bathing area. I soaked under its sodium bicarbonate waterfall for a good 20 minutes before my appointment with the seshin ajumma (scrub ladies) in the scrub room.

Having the mirror at a distance due to me sitting. I used to go to Spa Castle NY where there were magnifying mirrors on an extension arm. This mitigated the distance. I don't think the treet blades are that good for me, and I'm not experienced with them. I should have gone with Silver Blues or Feathers. The next morning I had some proper leisure relaxation in the mens bath house. After sitting in the steam room for a while I decided to give it a go with the disposables and barbasol that is provided by the spa, rather than retrieve my kit from my locker. I didn't apply aftershave until I went back in the locker room, so I don't have a feel for nicks that didn't actually shed blood. However, I got pretty close, as one would expect with a sauna for prep, top of the line canned goo, and a crappy disposable.
